COLLAR ATTACHING MEANS Application filed June 20,

The present invention relates generally to new and useful improvements in garments, and has for its principal object to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, means for detachably securing a collar to a garment in a neat and attractive manner.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a garment which will be highly attractive in appearance when worn without 6 a collar.

Other objects of the invention are to provide a garment and collar attaching means which will be simple in construction, strong, durable, and which may be manufactured at low cost.

All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification taken in connection with 2Q the accompanying drawings; wherein, like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein Figure l is a perspective view of the upper portion of a garment constructed in accordance with the present invention, with the collar attached thereto.

Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the garment without the collar.

Fig. 3 is a detail view in perspective of the collar.

Fig. at is a fragmentary detail view in perspective showing the garment with the collar base raised.

Fig. 5 is a view in vertical section through the collar and the attaching means therefor.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view in horizontal section, taken substantially on the line 66 of Fig. 2.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the present invention which has been illustrated comprises a yoke 1 to the outer portion of which is attached, as at 2, a collar base 3 having a series of spaced, transverse slots 4 therein. Reference numeral 5 designates the body portion of the garment which is attached by a raised seam 6 to the collar base 3. A piece of material 7 extends from the forward or inner portion of the yoke 1 to 1932. Serial N0. 618,382.

9 are loops 14 which are insertable through the slots l in the manner illustrated to advantage in Fig. 5 of the drawings. The loops l lenceed the slots t by two in number, for a. purpose which will be presently set forth.

Extending from the ends of the collar base 675 3 are straps 15, one of which is provided with a button hole 16 in its free end portion for receiving abutton on the corresponding portion on the other of said straps.

To mount the collar 9 in position on the garment, a loop lt is inserted through each of the slots 4. Thus, the end loops will be adjacent the ends of the collar base 3, as seen in Fig. 1 of the drawings by reason of the fact that there are two The straps 15 are then end loops and folded rearwardly and in serted through the loops 14 which are drawn through the slots 4. By virtue of the fact that the straps 15 are inserted through the end loops on the collar adjacentthe ends of the collar base, such straps when bent over for buttoning will cause the collar itself at such section thereof to be cupped and shaped in a manner as to provide for a proper draping of such collar. The free ends of the straps 15 are then buttoned together and the collar attaching operation has been completed. The construction and arrangement of the base 3 is such that the collar 9 will be supported in a highly attractive manner on the garment.

' Should it be desired to wear the garment without the collar, the straps 15 are threaded thru slots 4 in the manner illustrated to advantage in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The base 3 is folded downwardly over the body 5. The free end portions of the straps 15 are buttoned together on the lower side of the base 3 and are thereby concealed.

It is believed that the many advantages of a collar attaching means in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood, and although the preferred embodi- 5 ment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts, may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is 1. A garment comprising a body, a collar base attached to the body and having slots therein, a collar, loops on the collar insertible through the slots, and means on the base insertible through the loops for securing said loops to the base.

1 2. A garment comprising a body, a collar 20 base mounted on the body and having a plurality of slots therein, a collar, loops on the collar insertible through the slots, and straps on the ends of the base insertible through the loops for anchoring said loops in the slots.

3. A garment com rising a body, a collar base mounted on the y having a plurality of slotstherein, a collar, loops on the collar insertible throu h the slots, additional loops on the collar jacent the ends of the base, and means on the ends of the base insertible through the loops for detachably securing the collar to said base.

4. A garment comprising a body, a collar & base mounted on the body, said collar base having a plurality of slots therein, a collar, loops on the collar insertible through the slots, additional loops on the collar adjacent the endsof the collar base straps on the ends of the collar base insertible through the loops for-securing the collar to the base, and means for detachably connecting the free end portion of the straps together.

5. A garment comprising a body, a collar 3 base mounted on said body, a collar attachable to said collar base, a plurality of loops on said collar disposed adjacent the ends of said collar base when the collar is attached thereto, and straps formed at the ends of the collar n base and passing through said loops for cupingthe collar and providing an additional lhstening therefor to the collar base.

0. A garment comprising a body, a collar base mounted on said body, a collar attachable to said collar base, a plurality of loops formed on the collar adjacent the ends of said collar base, and straps disposed on the ends of said collar base and passing through said loops for interconnecting the collar at m, a point adjacent the ends of said collar base with said collar base.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature. CARL SCHWARTZ.
